The smile behind the design & the wink behind the strategy.
That’s me, Kathryn. I’m from a small town in New Jersey called Ho-Ho-Kus—yes, there are three hyphens, and yes, it’s real (the only town in the country with two hyphens, actually.) I grew up surrounded by what was, most of the time, happy chaos—a family of six and two dogs.
I’m a graduate from Syracuse University with a major in Communications Design and a minor in Public Communications. I approach design with one thing in mind: big strategy, always designed intentionally intentional and a filled with personality. It should be unexpected, memorable, and leave you with what I like to call a "smile in the mind." If it doesn't, let's chat. It's what I call the Kathryn Effect: the thing you remember later. The tiny detail, the unexpected twist, the idea that sticks around long after you've moved on.
Anyways, if you’re looking for design that feels like something, not just looks like something, reach out!
